The Disciple reported the latest situation in Heaven Dou City in detail, leaving Ning Fengzhi and the two Elders stunned as they listened.
It was simply unbelievable.
Ning Fengzhi waved his hand slightly and said, "You may leave now!"
"Yes."
After the Disciple left, Sword Douluo suddenly remembered and said, "I recall Rongrong saying last time that the boy named Leon was in seclusion. She said he would have time to accompany her back once his cultivation was finished, right?"
Bone Douluo said in a heavy voice, "Also, what was it Rongrong said last time? That kid named Leon has more than one girlfriend besides Rongrong?"
"Infuriating!"
"Fengzhi, since that kid Leon has come out of seclusion, let's not wait for him to come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Let's go straight to Heaven Dou City to find him."
"Right!"
Sword Douluo said with a serious expression, "Since we can't make a decision now anyway, we might as well go find him and ask clearly. While we're at it, we can see exactly what kind of strength that kid has to dare have other girlfriends after getting our Rongrong!"
"Don't."
Ning Fengzhi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, you must not be impulsive. He helped us obtain so many Spirit Tools and even gave us the Spirit Tool technology. Regardless of the reason, we must show him respect."
"Let's wait a bit longer regarding the visit. If they don't return soon, then we'll consider paying them a visit."
Hearing this, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo looked at each other and replied, "Then we'll do as you say!"
"This Leon is likely quite young and can't withstand the temptation of beauty. It's fine if he has a couple more girlfriends; as men, we can understand. But our Rongrong must be the Legal Wife."
"Yes, anything else is negotiable, but we absolutely cannot yield on this matter."
Ning Fengzhi rubbed his forehead with a hint of melancholy...
Legal Wife?
I remember Rongrong saying when she came back last time that she seemed to be the Third Party, didn't she?
Time passed bit by bit.
It was nearing noon.
The three carriages of Leon's group had already arrived before the mountain gate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Speak of Leon, and Leon appears!
In Xiao Wu's arms, Big Silly Cat looked at Ning Rongrong and asked, "Little Princess, is there anything delicious at your home, aowu?"
Ning Rongrong replied with a smile, "Of course. In a bit, I'll have people bring out every single delicious thing I've eaten growing up and serve them all to you."
"Aowu!"
Big Silly Cat cried out excitedly.
Smack!
Behind them, Ah Yin irritably slapped the right head of the Scarlet King.
"Aowu?"
"Ah Yin, what are you doing?"
Ah Yin said crossly, "Look at this! What have you taught Her Majesty the Empress to become, you bastard?"
"She's doing nothing but 'aowu-ing' all day long?"
The Scarlet King was also bewildered.
Wait, what?
I didn't even know the Imperial Auspicious Beast before!
I never taught her that!
Zhu Zhuqing said, caught between laughter and tears, "Rongrong, are you sure Leon won't be beaten out of the house with so many of us coming along?"
[Zhu Zhuyun: Although... but...]
[Number Nine: It's fine. Leon is strong enough. Senior Sword Douluo's sword isn't sharp enough; even if Leon stands there and lets him hack away, he wouldn't be able to move him.]
[Dugu Yan: You've been getting more and more mischievous lately.]
[Bo Saixi: Number Nine just needs us all to give her a good lesson.]
[Everyone: +1.]
[Number Nine: I think you're right, but remember, if you're going to teach someone a lesson, teach Number Nine. Don't wrongly accuse Ye Lingling.]
[Ning Rongrong: It's fine!]
[Ning Rongrong: The gifts Brother Leon gave to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are enough to buy ten of me.]
[Qian Renxue: Speaking of which, I'm a bit confused. Didn't you send the Spirit Tools back a long time ago? Why haven't I received any intelligence about the Disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect possessing new types of weapons?]
[Tang Yuehua: I'm also quite curious. Logically speaking, this kind of thing shouldn't be possible to keep hidden, right?]
Everyone chatted as they walked inside.
When the Disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect saw their Young Master Ning Rongrong returning with so many people, they hurriedly went to inform their Sect Leader.
Meanwhile.
In the Great Hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi and the two Elders were still feeling like they were walking on thin ice.
"Sect Leader."
"The Young Master is back. She brought many friends with her and is currently walking this way."
Hmm?
Ning Fengzhi and the two Elders were delighted to hear this.
They were just considering going to Heaven Dou City to find them, and now they were back?
"Good, I understand."
Ning Fengzhi replied, then turned to the Sword and Bone Douluos and called out, "Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, I know you both dote on Rongrong, but please maintain restraint in a moment."
"Regarding these Spirit Tools and Spirit Tool technology that Leon had Rongrong bring back, we absolutely cannot be neglectful. Let's go out together to welcome them now!"
"Mhm."
The Sword and Bone Douluos nodded, not saying much else.
Indeed!
These Spirit Tools and technology of Leon's... Ning Rongrong had bought them herself, but that was no longer important.
In reality, they only existed because of Leon, so Ning Rongrong had put it simply: these Spirit Tools and technology were essentially given by Leon. The small amount of Gold Soul Coins spent was not even worth mentioning.
And so,
Ning Fengzhi and the two Elders flew all the way toward the mountain gate to welcome them, only stopping when they saw Leon and the others.
"Papa, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone."
Seeing her father and the two Elders coming out to welcome them, Ning Rongrong also ran up happily.
Ning Fengzhi and the two Elders nodded slightly, their gazes collectively landing on the only male, Leon, with eyes full of surprise.
This boy is truly good-looking!
No wonder.
Their pampered Little Princess could be so captivated by him!
It made sense.
As for his strength... they couldn't see through it, so he likely wasn't weak.
A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast?
No!
Ning Fengzhi and the others suddenly frowned. It wasn't just the two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts from the intelligence; that three-headed yellow dog likely had a cultivation far exceeding a hundred thousand years.
And the little girl with Rongrong—she was also a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast?
Furthermore, these people—these girls and women were all far too beautiful.
The pressure on Rongrong is so immense!
This was with Zi Ji and Bi Ji not even being here, as they had stayed behind to guard Gu Yuena; otherwise, the three of them would have been even more bewildered.
"Uncle Ning, Senior Sword Douluo, Senior Bone Douluo, I am Leon."
"Greetings."
Leon raised his hands in a polite salute.
Behind him, Zhu Zhuqing and the others also bowed slightly to greet them along with Leon.
Ning Fengzhi was also stunned as he looked at Leon's group. He had some understanding of almost half of these people: Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Huo Wu, Bai Chenxiang, and he knew Liu Erlong and Tang Yuehua even better.
And Bo Saixi's Sea Goddess Douluo also left them feeling dazed.
Oh, right!
"Hmm?"
Ning Fengzhi and the two Elders' expressions suddenly tightened as they looked at one of the people behind Leon, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Spirit Hall Elder, Spirit Kite Douluo?
Wait, what?
This?
What kind of social circle is this? How on earth did this group of people get gathered together!
Leon then stepped forward, took out the Beautiful Silk Tulip he had received as a reward the previous night, and called out:
"Uncle Ning, I've been tied down by matters lately and only found time to visit you today. This small gift is a token of my respect."
"Hiss—!"
Seeing this scene, Liu Erlong and the others also sucked in a breath of cold air.
Leon, oh Leon!
You're actually using this to test a cadre?
Which Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master could possibly withstand a test like this from you?
At this rate, won't they just hold a wedding for you on the spot, and even hold weddings for you and your other girlfriends as well?
They'd probably even have to buy wedding houses for all of you.
Ning Fengzhi didn't pay it too much mind at first. Although things like Immortal Herbs were precious, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did not lack rare and exotic treasures, so he accepted it quite casually.
"Since you call me Uncle Ning, then I shall call you Young Leon!"
"Now that you're here, there's no need to be so formal... Please, come inside, Everyone."
Ning Fengzhi gracefully invited Everyone and led the way, while the Sword and Bone Douluos also maintained a calm demeanor, showing the bearing of a great sect.
However,
Ning Rongrong's next sentence immediately broke their composure.
"Papa, do you... do you know what that was that Brother Leon just gave you?"
"Hmm?"
Ning Fengzhi looked at Ning Rongrong with a somewhat strange expression and said, "Alright, Rongrong. No matter what Young Leon brought, Papa welcomes them. Your Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, and I are content just feeling his sincerity."
"That's not it!"
Ning Rongrong explained excitedly, "That is the Beautiful Silk Tulip! It's... it's the precious Immortal Herb that helped my Martial Soul evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. It's also a priceless treasure that can help you break through level eighty and evolve your Martial Soul!"
Stumble~
Ning Fengzhi lost his footing and nearly twisted his ankle and fell to the ground.
The Sword and Bone Douluos also stopped in their tracks instantly, looking at Leon with faces full of utter disbelief.
Wait, what?
We already can't finish repaying the debt of gratitude for the Spirit Tools.
And now you're giving such an enormous gift?
If you need something, just tell us directly who you want killed!
Aside from Qian Daoliu, whom we can't defeat, even if we had to fight all the way to the Clear Sky Clan, we wouldn't be able to refuse.
